well...i never made it up to the Heath tonight to watch the meteor shower, cos there was totes cloud cover and lashing rain, but sadly it was mainly cos of news of the death of my friend's brother...which facilitated the decision to meet up for a bit of tea (ok, wine) and sympathy down at
the castle on Portobello Road. en route we also happened upon the
shift work thing going on by my mate's flat in westbourne park - a meeting of street art masters to re-paint the concrete heaven that is the Westway...you can watch them in action till friday and then from saturday its the public show...they've even got a groovy cinema thing set up. after a few drinks in the pub...we were walking back again and spotted that they were showing Jean Cocteau's
Orphee with the wonderful Jean Marais...so sat down for a wee while and enjoyed the classic flick...which seemed very pertinent as the story centres around a poet who falls in love with "death"...kinda puts me in mind of
Inception actually (which, yes, i enjoyed)...but that could be the wine-befuddled brain talking...
on the way home i bumped into an old friend of a friend who invited me to the
cobden club on saturday as she will be singing there...so i def plan to pop down west london way again.
after a quick bus trip home, i looked up to see...nothing....shooting star-wise....so i am watching the skies via the
allsky camera at University of Herts...just in case!
